My usage of the term jurisdiction was in reference to episcopal jurisdiction, not patriarchal or autocephalous. As for the Eastern Rite Catholics, their separate episcopal jurisdictions are based either on rites or ethnic origins (as is the case with the multiple Orthodox jurisdiction in the West). With the ROCOR and OCA there will be the case of two different bishops ministering in the same territory to parishes of the same rite and same ethnic origin.
not if you peg the low russians/ruthenian/ukrainian types as different from the high russians, and note that generally speaking the oca uses english only and generally speaking rocor uses slavonic only.
there are DEFINITLY ethnic and liturgic differences between the two.
uniates as i recall use more less the same right, often they also use the same english language liturgy if they have multiple services. yet they report to different bishops.
also btw there’s probably not a lot of places where that even is true. (there’s a couple cities where parishes split into oca and rocor but over the vast majority of the territory there is either an oca OR a rocor but not both.
Uniates can parish hop to avoid their rulling bishop in many cases...
